see, when cis people won’t date trans people, it’s because they don’t see us as the genders we are. when trans people won’t date cis people, it’s because of the decades of cruelty, erasure, violence, and oppression. see if you can spot the difference, kids.

JAPANESE FANS REACT TO THE SOURIN INTERVIEW FROM THE VOLUME 2 DVD BOOKLET:

1) “Sourin interview talks about what would the boys choose if they were not involved in sports, and Rin talks about maybe starting a band and discusses which instrument he would play, also there’s stuff about why Sousuke loses rock-paper-scissors to Rin all the time, followed by what happens after Momo visits Rin in their room, also there’s a part when Gou talks about what she thinks about SouRin (LITERALLY) LOL.”

2)“The SouRin Interview makes me think that these two are definitely dating!”

3) “The SouRin interview was so ridiculous…….I got so excited I want to vomit blood…“

4) "Omg I finally saw the DVD. The 4th episode…is so great….the 4th EPISODE IS SO GREAT…..AND ALSO the SouRin interview was way too cute! SO SHOCKING!”

5) “The Sourin interview is on the level of makoharu insanity”

6) “The Sourin interview…is really…too freakin’ cuteeeeeeee…….”

7) “The Sourin interview booklet is amazing…they are COMPLETELY flirting with each other!!!!!”

SOMEONE PLEASE PROVIDE ME A SCAN OF THIS INTERVIEW ASAP I WILL TRANSLATE THIS NOW LIKE RIGHT NOW IF YOU CAN GIVE ME A LINK!

OKAY CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT BECAUSE I JUST HAVE A LOT OF REI FEELINGS RIGHT NOW.

He’s trying so hard to convince Nagisa that he’s there to help him when he needs help. He will help Nagisa improve his grades no matter what it takes, but when Nagisa rejects him the first time he tries and pushes on, suggesting that they figure it out collectively, but you can just see how his face falters.

Then when Nagisa yells at Rei, like full-on YELLS at Rei, the way he says Nagisa’s name sounds so broken because he’s probably never seen this side of Nagisa before, and not knowing what he can do to help Nagisa is probably breaking him inside and Rei probably feels so helpless and I JUST CAN’T GET OVER THE FACT THAT REI WAS SO EMOTIONAL AND SO PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING NAGISA IN THIS EPISODE GDI REI BBY IS SO IN LOVE afs;dlfja;lskdfj
